The Timp Trail Marathon and Half
The event is scheduled for May 15, 2027 in Orem, UT and offers the following distances:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
Both distances start and finish at Timpanogos Park. The marathon course has 5,883 feet of elevation gain and is composed of 99.9% mountain trail and fire break roads. Runners will encounter technical ascents and descents, a few asphalt crossings at lower elevations, and occasional snow, rain, mud, stream crossings, and rocky sections. Organizers note that a runner who normally posts a 3:30 marathon could expect a substantially longer finish time on this terrain.
Course markings use pink flagging to show the way and pink plus blue combined to mark turns. Organizers will review marking details at the race start. Participants should know the course or be able to follow the course description and GPX files.
Aid stations on the marathon course are listed with mile locations and distances between some stations; notable points include Grove Creek Trailhead at mile 11.39 and Battle Creek Trailhead at mile 18.15, where a drop bag option is available and clothing or gear left there will be returned to the starting area after the last runner clears the aid station. There are cutoff requirements at Grove Creek, Battle Creek, and Dry Canyon aid stations.
There will not be porta johns, course mile markers, spectators, or volunteers positioned to show direction. Entry fees are listed in a range from 70.99 to 112.21 USD. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
